Patient's question:
Doctor, how to treat newborn jaundice with a value of 22.5? What should be done if newborn jaundice is high?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to explain this to you. If the jaundice index is 22.5, it is already relatively high. To further clarify the bilirubin index, it is necessary to have a blood test at the hospital. It is necessary to receive blue light irradiation in a timely manner and take some oral medication to prevent the further worsening of bilirubin encephalopathy or nuclear jaundice. Usually, continuous blue light irradiation treatment is needed for about a week. If the condition further deteriorates, alternative therapy will be required.
